I never went out and priced Dynamat and I am sure doing the entire trunk would be rather expensive, but just for the rear deck isn't bad at all. I just don't want to spend hundreds of dollars just to get the rattle out when a few to several years down the road, I would be trading the car in. With the stereo equipment, I can take it out, whereas all of the modifications I can't. Damn AA isn't working either:p:

Thanks Walight, I am definitely check in to it. I have something for a quick fix to make the rattling tolerable, until I get enough to get it done right EDead is purchased through Elemental Designs? Do you need any thing like a heat gun or any thing? to get it to adhere to the metal? Dumb question, but I never used sound deadening materials in the past. Gotta start some time:p:2001 ES (Featured at SoundDomain)

yeah, edead is through ED. you don't need a heat gun to apply it, but don't try to put it on when it's below 85 degrees without a heat gun, so right now in charleston would be a bad time to apply it, unless you use a heat gun course if you do it when it's 95 out, like when i did my roof and floor, you'll sweat your ass off you don't need to thoroughly clean the metal before you apply it, but i'd take a rag and some denatured alcohol or some other solvent that doesn't leave a residue to clean it up for better adheasion you'll also want to pick up a small wallpaper roller to really press it in place. using just your fingers is a bitch, and spending $10 on the dynamat roller is retarded:p:

Wow, I removed the rear deck (very easy to do) and took a test drive. What a difference!!! Now I wonder if I should just leave it. For those who used EDead and such, does it sound almost as good as having the entire plastic piece removed? If so, I want to do it for looks and function. I can hear the entire bass frequency instead of some along with lots of rear deck vibes. :p: I may keep it out for a while. It's exposing the cheap rear factory spkrs. which aren't hooked up. That will be a curve ball if some one walked by and saw it. My windows aren't tinted yet, but will do so next Spring. I don't want to have it done over the colder months (just doesn't adhere as well as the Spring or Summer).2001 ES (Featured at SoundDomain)

I love those paper cone 6x9's (factory) with the "whizzer" tweeters! Whewhoo!! Hope no one is going to rip my exposed factory speakers there! Yeah, every thing sounds great and once I get Rider's JBL amp in, I won't have the light dimming. At least now with the lights dimming, you can hear the bass as I come up behind someone. Whereas before, it wouldn't be so loud (in the sealed box) and the **** would be dimming.2001 ES (Featured at SoundDomain)
